Appropriately named after the charming Barolo region in Italy, the intimate space on Sixth Avenue ranks at the top of all dining lists for impeccable cuisine and polished service. The interior is rustic and romantic with Italian touches from vines to soft lights and fresh flowers. The chef serves Northern Italian delicacies with lovely combinations such as the rabbit stuffed with black truffles and spinach and the signature crispy roasted duck served with garlic-laced hash browns. The Piemontese menu takes Denver diners on an interesting prix fixe adventure of culinary diversity. There's also an optional wine pairing. The wine list is comprehensive, challenging even the most fervent connoisseur. There is a nice showing of Barolo wines, of course. -- Ann Bender (Photo: Konstantine Simakis)
